But looks better than E92 coupe.

I think this is a photoshop'd one but it probably IS the way the CLK will look. There are pictures of the C-Class out there and that is the front it has, so has the R-Class and CLS so it'll be something on that theme JMHO !

I acually like the look of the 2008 CLK. The lines look aggressive and sporty. I feel the W209 lost its aggressiveness, the lines on the 209 are too elegante and feminine for my taste.

At least CLK has its own class, compare to BMW coupe (just a two door version of sedan).

I still love w208 whenever I see it on the road, and even if 2008 CLK release, I will still love the design/style on w209 and w208.

CLK is a stylish car with histories to keep for long term.

I like the w209's headlamps better. It's a unique look, it's usually the first thing people point out.
